After the appropriate amount of time passed, the Challenger dropped out of warp and started at impulse towards the coordinates supplied earlier. It was quiet out. Nothing on comms other than the faint distress call, and scanners found nothing but the ship, running on standby power, adrift in space.

Cadet Osten had relinquished the security console several minutes before the Challenger dropped out of warp, allowing the regular bridge crew to take over from the second shift personnel like Wiles who had monitored the ship during its time in high warp. However, Wiles positioned himself to stand beside the turbolift instead of leaving the bridge, clasping his hands behind his back and standing at attention as the ship dropped back to impulse. Unless asked to leave, Wiles allowed his security uniform to act as permission to stand guard, ready to jump in should the distress call prove dangerous to the Challenger’s crew.

Wiles’ attention was focused intently on the viewscreen as they approached the adrift ship, but his wary eyes scanned the edges of the screen’s field of vision, not staring at the ship in the center of the screen as he was sure most other officers were doing. He furrowed his brow slightly and narrowed his eyes, inspecting the background against which the distressed ship floated.
